Thanks for the feedback. Exactly the perspective I was looking for from like-minded riders

You mention the screens working with gloves - are you taking any gloves or the special ones with the pads on the finger tips that are designed to work with smartphones? I don't see any detailed specs on Garmin's site about what specific kind of touch screens the devices have, but I recall seeing something saying one of the models I looked at having a "capacitive" style.
